Ever experienced the situation not to know how much megabytes you have free
at the moment ? You want to copy a couple of *HUGE* files to one of your
dozens of partitions but you don't know which one has enough space on it ?


Then you need VolumeWatch. It opens a small window and displays a couple of
bars and other informations about all of your volumes! (NOT devices!!!)


You can enable a permanent capacity check and the layout will change on
each diskchange and it can be zoomed and it is fontsensitve and it uses
not too much resources and so on... :-)


Check it out!

@TITLE "Installation"
@SMARTWRAP
@WORDWRAP
Just copy the binary somewhere into your command path (i.e. C:) and that's it!
If you want to use it in the WBSTARTUP drawer, just write a shell script in which
you launch VolumeWatch like in your S:User-Startup,
add a PROJECT icon to it and put "ICONX" into the DEFAULTTOOL.

@{CODE}
echo "VolumeWatch <your args> QUIET" >SYS:WBStartup/Start_VolumeWatch
protect SYS:WBStartup/Start_VolumeWatch +se
copy SYS:System/Shell.info SYS:WBStartup/Start_VolumeWatch.info

Then remove all tooltypes from the icon, change the default tool to "ICONX",
add a new tooltype "DONOTWAIT" and save it to disk.

@{CODE}
This is the CLI template: PUBSCREEN/K,WIDTH/K/N,LEFT/K/N,TOP/K/N,INTERVAL/K/N,NOFULL/S,QUIET/S

@{B}PUBSCREEN@{UB}
	purpose:  open the window on this public screen.
	default:  the default public screen

@{B}WIDTH@{UB}
	purpose:  the window width to use. Really, I've
	          tried several auto-layout techniques,
	          but this gives you more control over it.
	default:  1/5 of the current screen

@{B}LEFT/TOP@{UB}
	purpose:  specify the window position on screen.
	default:  upper left corner (0,0)
	special:  if the position is not on screen, the nearest point will be used!

@{B}INTERVAL@{UB}
	purpose:  enable capacity polling and set the interval period in seconds
	default:  no polling
	special:  values of 5-10 seconds are good

@{B}NOFULL@{UB}
	purpose:  hide all 100% full volumes
	default:  show all

@{B}QUIET@{UB}
	purpose:  hide the copyright message
	default:  show the copyright message

Window Controls:

	just click into the window for immediate refresh,
	the zoom gadget disables refreshing/polling (runs faster ?)

Shell Controls:

	send a CTRL_C to kill it

If you have too much partitions (you lucky one!) the window is full-height and does not
split into several columns.
